There's a new patch coming to the Mists of Pandaria for today. It has new spells, awesome new models, several spell changes, and a couple of new items. Be sure to check out the 3D models as they are very cool this patch--I want one of those mounts!

New Models

The Mists of Pandaria Collector's Edition is going to have both a mount and a pet apparently. Blizzard finally put names to them: the Imperial Quilen and the Lucky Quilen Cub.

It also looks like Mists of Pandaria's legendary will be for all classes--we datamined icons for every weapon type that are marked as legendary. Catch up on what's known so far about the newest legendary and join in the discussion over here.

A new build is coming soon to beta--we've got the spell diffs listed below, as well as all the new items in the database! We also have three gorgeous armor sets--remember to view them in our 3D modelviewer.

A new beta patch is hitting Mists of Pandaria sometime this weekend it looks like! We have datamined the spell differences for you to look at and tons of new items, achievements, and more.

The biggest thing this patch seems to be Breath of the Black Prince which is likely a way of upgrading items tremendously without class restrictions normally known with legendaries. This system exists in other MMORPGs so it would make sense. This is only speculation, of course.

Horde Bear Models

Like the armored cats we covered earlier in the week, we now have armored bears. The Alliance ones weren't done--these are the Horde versions.

A new patch hit around 1AM PDT tonight and should be up on the beta later today! There are tons of new achievements, a couple new items, and more which we have datamined. We also have spell changes under the break.

So early this morning there was a patch for Mists of Pandaria which will probably hit live servers tonight. There were a lot of added mounts, as well as profession things starting to make their way onto the beta. We also learned that the World of Warcraft class team has, well, class--they sign their notes with "XOXO": !

We datamined dozens of new models today from the Mists of Pandaria beta, including striking new armor pieces from questing and Challenge Modes. The whole content team has been hard at work putting together videos of all the models below--some of the quest reward sets are really distinctive, and there's a bunch of asymmetrical shoulder designs, which players love. You can preview all the models in our 3-D Model Viewer as well!

Armor Sets

Items

Fangs of the Father: Legendary Proc

Shadows of the Destroyer: Increases your Agility by 17, stacking up to 50 times. Once you have acquired 30 stacks of Shadows of the Destoyer, each stack gained grants an increasing chance to trigger Fury of the Destroyer and cancel all stacks of Shadows of the Destroyer. Fury of the Destroyer immediately grants 5 combo points and causes your finishing moves to grant 5 combo points. Lasts 6 sec.

Legendary Wings: No further information on it yet, but probably related to the cosmetic effect of unfurling wings.

We've known for a while that the weapon will have two earlier stages like the previous legendary did, but now there's some more information on them. Both of them also have procs:

There was a small patch last night. Nothing huge--just new maps for the 5-mans as well as some achievements for PvE encounters in 4.3. In any case, we also have a new data push on the PTR site so you can check out all the data we've acquired so far. A major thanks to everyone who uses the Wowhead Client as well during the PTR, it always helps us!

I'm tacking on some notable blue posts here as sort of a round up as well--heirlooms might be changing in the future and void storage pricing was changed considerably. Hopefully this stops some of the complaining we've seen about the prices!

Heirloom Mechanics

We would like to share an insight on the approach that is the philosophy behind the heirlooms at the moment. This is still something that may change, so please do not take it as set in stone.

In short, the developers agree that the process of mailing heirlooms around constantly is a little annoying. We'd prefer to try and work ourselves away from the method of mailing out BoA items in the future, like pets, mounts, etc. To that end, we have some desig
